(Paul Kennerley)
|
Well I never did crawl and I never did toe that line
|
No man is a master to me I ain't that kind
|
I just put on my traveling shoes
|
If you wanna win you just can't lose the time
|
Or stay behind
|
|
Well I was born to run
|
To get ahead of the rest
|
And all that I wanted was to be the best
|
Just to feel free and be someone
|
I was born to be fast I was born to run
|
|
Well I take the chances sometimes I've made mistakes
|
But you don't get nothing unless you take the breaks
|
Living as dangerous as dynamite
|
Sure makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel alright
|
Makes you feel alright
|
|
Well I was born to run
|
To get ahead of the rest
|
And all that I wanted was to be the best
|
Just to feel free and be someone
|
I was born to be fast I was born to run
|
|
Nobody's gonna make me do things their way
|
By the time you figure it out it's yesterday
|
Well it comes to he who waits I'm told
|
But I don't need it when I'm old and gray
|
Yea I want it today
|
|
Well I was born to run
|
To get ahead of the rest
|
And all that I wanted was to be the best
|
Just to feel free and be someone
|
I was born to be fast I was born to run
|
